Abstract excerpt
Mutations in microRNA-96 (MIR96) cause autosomal dominant deafness-50 (DFNA50), a form of delayed-onset hearing loss. Genome editing has shown efficacy in hearing recovery through intervention in neonatal mice, yet editing in the adult inner ear is necessary for clinical applications, which has not been done. Here, we developed a genome editing therapy for the MIR96 mutation 14C>A by screening different CRISPR...
